his set of Spanish firm Mobilfresno does a fine balancing act by giving us a strong feel of the Art Deco style that prevailed in the 1920s and yet retaining the modern look. Art Deco is refers to a style of interior designing which makes use of streamlines, geometric surfaces including furniture pieces with curved fronts, chrome hardware, mirrors, and clean lines. This is the everlasting design that basically it is a combination of classic elite and modern design which can give stylish look into any interior design that using this style of design. Very perfect design for modern house even if it is a small home. Art Deco always make a different look into any room it has applied. And Art Deco is about how in minimalist furniture which has clean lines we can create an everlasting design. Look at this images then you will know how to make such a stylish design of Art Deco. Making the most of the space you’ve got is a common goal among homeowners; and no mat-

ter what kind of space you inhabit, it will likely have a living room. This room is meant for entertaining, but if it’s not up to your standards, it might be time to teach that old parlor some new tricks.

Living Room Décor. As the place in the home that guests will likely spend the most time in, your living room décor is especially important. Basically, the living room is a place where you can show your style to the world. It should reflect you and your interests, but have enough universal appeal that anyone who visits can feel at ease.

Modern Living Rooms. One way to make a bold statement with your living room décor is to modernize the whole room. This look begins with taking away all the clutter; a modern living room is as open and spacious as possible. If some things must be stored there (books, DVDs, etc.), Try to find storage units that close or serve another function as well. An end table that also stores a movie collection will make the room feel less busy while HOMInteriors

performing its primary function. » Modern living room décor is bright and well lit. If the room’s existing lighting is a bit dim, adding some lamps could make a big impact. Also consider the idea of changing the overhead lighting. Installing track, rail, or cable lighting to your ceiling will give the room a very modern look and make lighting objects around the room and on the walls a simpler and more flexible task. Modern furniture is characterized by its solid, bold colors and elegant, yet simple, design.

The bolder, the better is the rule, especially if you have white walls or white carpet. Do not, however, sacrifice comfort for style. It is better to feel good than to look good; your guests will agree, too.

Living the Art. Every modern room should contain some kind of art.

Whether you like paintings, sculpture, photographs, or whatever, a living room is a great place to display.

Keep it simple; one piece per wall might be too much for some rooms.

Also, lighting a piece is almost as important as the piece itself. Even if you didn’t opt for the new track lighting (which, in general, really does make this easier), make sure that the work is able to be seen without a lot of shadow or glare so that everyone who visits can enjoy it.

Avoid Getting Too Modern. Whether your style is modern, classic, country, or anything else, don’t let your living room décor get out of hand. Remember, this is the entertaining room, so it’s a good idea to avoid extreme and being subjective. There is a fine line between uncluttered and empty. Walk it carefully! Also, many people equate modern with electronics. While there is a definite connection, they are not one in the same. Having modern style is about being colorful and bold, and creating a good sense of space with respect to trend. It has nothing to do with the number of remote controls on your coffee table neither or your fancy flat screens or the kinds of modern electronic games.

SPACE TRENDS

CREATING TRENDY IDEAS WITH YOUR OWN SPACE

Although there are many ways to design living room by getting help from an interior decorator of yours, designing your home by your perspective can create a unique design.

L

ayout for the Right Spacing.

Even before, you start designing your living room, preparing a living room layout for furniture is necessary, as proper furniture at proper places can solve half of your design stress. Foremost, choose things that perfectly fit the room, neither too small nor too large. Differentiate the room with clear margins settings for television, music system or any recreational items like magazines, news paper, etc. Plan your stuff in such a way that you get sufficient accessibility to light, air and heat. Carpeting the floor improves the living room layout look.

Lay out can also be altered depending upon the practicality when you have kids or toddlers at home, since they can be put to risk if the furniture are placed unusually close to the heating appliance or an electric circuit.

Make overs at Low Budgets. Major living room make overs can even cost you a fortune but, small changes can be made using your creativity to make radical make overs to the living room. Creativity can wheel from curtains by trying different colors or shades of curtains or a sofa cushion seat covers or pillow covers by using hand crafted materials. Bright and vibrant colors can cause both emotional and physical make overs. Antique show pieces, fresh flower vase or explicit pictures can bring about a lot of change to your room. You can also try different and unique wall hangings like some artifacts or ancient weapons etc. Changing wall colors and floorings can mask the old worn out look of the house. Changing furniture positions over time could create a new view to the rooms.

OUR PICKS

THE DIFFERENT FACES OF MODERN While modern style can be somewhat easily defined as form is function, since its first appearance in the second half of the twentieth century, it has evolved to include a range of degrees if you will, from minimalist to something that closely resembles contemporary or transitional styles. In other words, when choosing modern style for your home, you can decide how little or much. Some of us find true modernism too stark, while for others, it is that very starkness that is so appealing – the clean, sharp lines and angular profiles that create a spare, uncluttered environment which sets the stage for a busy, modern lifestyle.

When decorating a living room in modern style, furniture defines interior space by using geometric form and neutral palettes. A sofa like that is very minimalist, every line is straight and the profile is simple and spare.

Metal, glass and plastics are common construction materials. The Innovation Coffee Table with Chrome Legs is definitely modern, with its metal tabletop, high gloss finish and polished chrome legs.

Wood in lighter finishes or that has been bleached or molded, is another popular construction material for modern living room furniture. The Scando Coffee Table in Walnut perfectly demonstrates form is function; it’s asymmetrical profile serves as a make magazine holder.

EN SUITE BATHROOM

“Simplicity meets beauty” In this gorgeous en suite bathroom. It is a welcoming, modern space that encourages repose and well-being. What is interesting here is that the design doesn’t need too much dressing up since the framework of the space provides enough interest. For example, the pale, wide plank wooden floors in the bathroom have been laid perpendicular to the direction of the dark wooden floor in the bedroom. Additionally, the direction of the wood grain between the tub and the shower is also different from the floor, although the color provides unity. There is enough contrast provided between the white of the walls and the tub against the different wood colors throughout the space. Therefore, this en suite bathroom, governed mostly by rectangular shapes, can remain minimally adorned and still be stunning. The bedroom and bath areas are divided by a sliding door system made of wood and frosted glass, which wisely lets the light flow through both sides of the space, while maintaining privacy. Design by VOK GROUP.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT BEDROOM?

H

ow does your bedroom look like? Is this a room with stylish and ergonomic design that is so good for relaxation and untroubled sleep? Or maybe your bedroom resembles a storage unit with squeaking bed that is the reason of your headache every morning.

In true, many people neglect bedrooms. This is a private area and so we put many efforts in decorating public places like dining room, kitchen or living room. At the same time you owe yourself to decorate your bedroom! This is an area of your home where you relax and gain power for tomorrow and you simply won’t be able to perform your tasks effectively in case you have slept badly at night. Headaches, insomnia, nervousness, low energy and even aggression can be “cured” by simple bedroom replacement. If you have decided to change that old bedroom unit you have, you can choose the new one from multiple styles available on the market. Traditional, antique, high tech or modern – the variety of bedroom furniture is endless. Nowadays modern bedroom furniture is considered an optimal choice as it is functional, stylish and it won’t look outdated for a long time. In addition modern bedroom is a real opportunity to save comparing to traditional style analogues. Quite often we do not have much space in the bedroom and so traditional heavy wooden bedroom furniture is simply too huge. Modern bedroom style is perfect for both large and tiny bedrooms.

So you are ready to get band new modern bedroom, but have no enough money for this kind of purchase. Then try to make small changes instead of one huge change. Shopping for bedroom furniture is an expensive task and sacrificing quality for affordabil54

HOMInteriors

ity is not the best idea. That is why modern bedroom furniture is so popular – you can replace bed and then purchase matching bureau, shelves or night table. Finally, a stand lamp and other accessories will make your bedroom look solid. Prior to choosing a modern bedroom think what you would like to get. Don’t be upset if your local furniture store has a limited number of styles. It’s high time to use the power of Internet as numerous online stores offer high quality furniture from best manufacturers on discounted rates. Also think of the desirable color of your bedroom. Even though modern bedroom furniture is space saving, dark colors may visually scale down your room. Also do not make hasty choices in favor of extravagant furniture. Think, will you be able to relax in a room with such furniture and won’t you get tired of it soon. Simple shapes and neutral or pastel colors are often recommended for this part of your home. In case you prefer dark furniture, you should add some stark colors as well to gain the modern bedroom look. Green, red or white colors will neglect the domination of dark color.

Note modern bedroom means simplicity. Do not add endless small details and plan the accessories carefully. Several photos in simple frames, an abstract picture or a steel high tech lamp will be a good accent. Do not throw pillows, blankets and exclude any patchwork for your modern bedroom as they do not fit this style. Indeed, creating a modern bedroom requires much time and all your creativity, but in the end you’ll a get a stylish room that looks like it has been made by a professional designer. Another advantage of modern bedroom is that even after 4-5 years it will still look up-to-date.

WAR OF WOODS Abundance of choice

ood is often used in bathrooms as it creates a warm mood, and as wood comes in many different shades and styles there is an abundance of choice. In many older houses you will find wooden floors and if they are still in good condition many people will want to keep the look and have a traditional bath with no shower. If you have a large enough room you can have a separate shower area which is tiled. Adding wood to your bathroom creates a warm mood.
